IF YOU CAN READ THIS YOU ARE TOO CLOSE!
Well me and the GF drove up to Cloudcroft and immediately drove back down the Mountain.
What A Tourist Trap that place is in the Summer.
Anyway:
We decided to go on the Nature Walk at White Sands....both of us have been to W.S. several times but we had never followed the Park Ranger around and it was a damned fine experience.
I thought I knew it all, and I learned a lot.
White Sands is a Mystical place.
We got lucky and got to see a Major Thunderstorm over the San Franciso Mountains with a Major Lightning Show....and a Breathtaking Sunset (common in New Mexico).
BTW:
My legs and butt muscles are sore from walking up the Dunes...be prepared for a bit of exertion if you go on the nature Walk.
DAMMIT!
It's July and nothing is happening anywhere.
Gonna drive up to Cloudcroft tomorrow and sightsee.
Which doesn't make a lot of sense because Cloudcroft is a freakin' SKI RESORT.
No Snow = No Real Reason To Drive Up To A Ski Resort.
Oh Well...it beats sitting around and watching the wind make ripples on the swimming pool...or does it?
